Pro-Life America

A new Knights of Columbus/Marist poll finds that the vast majority of Americans reject the left’s radical abortion on demand agenda.

There is common ground to be found among the American people in support of commonsense limits on abortion. For example:

• 86% oppose “sex selection abortions” – aborting a baby just because it is a girl rather than a boy or vice versa.

• 83% support the pro-life work of pregnancy resource centers, yet the left violently attacks them.

• 67% oppose the use of taxpayer dollars to pay for abortions in foreign countries.

• 66% support conscience clause protections so that doctors and nurses with moral objections are not forced to perform abortions.

• 58% support pro-life limits protecting innocent babies from late-term abortions performed in the second and third trimesters. That figure includes 85% of Republicans, 60% of Independents and 37% of Democrats.

The poll also asked a very interesting question that is particularly relevant given the frantic efforts of the pro-abortion movement to put up radical ballot initiatives in various states that allow abortion on demand.

Voters were asked to choose between laws that had no limits at all or laws that limited abortions. By a 2-to-1 margin, 66% to 33%, voters said they would choose laws that limit abortion over laws that allow unlimited abortion on demand.

Clearly, we can defeat these radical pro-abortion ballot measures with the right messaging and necessary resources.
